Mafia Go

Game Art for Whaleapp LTD

About project

Mafia GO brings a playful mafia twist to classic board-game mechanics, inviting players to build their own criminal empire. By rolling the dice, players expand their territories, upgrade businesses, and compete with rival bosses for control of the city. Raids, heists, and collectible card sets offer opportunities to earn rewards and strengthen their influence. Combining stylized visuals, empire-building, and social competition, Mafia GO creates a lively world where every roll can shift the balance of power.
